Stir-fry French Beans with Szechuan Vegetables

Every two weeks I will check the vegetables compartment in the fridge and see what leftovers I have in there before buying new ones. Normally I will make a quick stir-fry with all the leftovers and this is one the dish that I came up with.

1. Heat up the wok with a bit of olive oil, add in the shallots and garlic. Stir fry until fragrant and lightly brown. Add in the meat and stir-fry until it changes color and lightly brown.
2. Add in carrot, French beans and chilies. Continue to stir fry for a minute. Add in Szechuan vegetable and the seasonings. Add in a few tbsp of water and continue to cook until vegetables are cooked and the water evaporates. Check sesoning as your might need to add a bit of salt to this dish.
3. Dish out and serve with warm rice

Note: You can replace the french beans with long beans and the meat with any type of protein of your choice.

I posted something like this quite some time ago, we call it 'chau lup, lup' top with fried peanuts. http://cheah2009.blogspot.com/2009/10/chau-lup-lup.htmlYours look good, country style home cooking. Goes well with white porridge.
